What I want to say is "我是一个踏实的人", but I am not able to think out an accurate word or phrase to say that, thank you!

I am voting to close as this currently reads like a question that requires comprehensive knowledge of English (i.e. "how do I effectively express this in English"), rather than Chinese (e.g. "what does this term mean exactly"). – user5714 Aug 4 '16 at 16:09

踏实 seems to have two groups of meanings:
[1]
- dependable; sure and steady
- at ease; free from anxiety; having peace of mind
[2]
- practical; realistic; pragmatic
- down-to-earth
When it comes to describing people, I'd choose "dependable" or "down-to-earth" depending on which meaning you need. If you could provide some more context, it would help in choosing the best word.
The word you are looking for is "pragmatic"
"我是一个踏实的人" - "I am a pragmatic person."
